8 BULLET FIRED TO KILL J. J. READ'S ATTACK ON A SOUTH ERN RAILW A A PORTER. Shot William Stewart on the Street After a Quarrel Which Eycwlt nrsses Wa* I’rwi pi ti ted by Head—The Wounded Alan Said by the Phyaiclan* Who Attended Him to Be Beyond Hope of Recovery. Mis Assailant Arrested Near the Scene of the Shooting. William Stewart, colored-, was shot and probably fatally wounded yesterday af ternoon by J. J. Read, a white stone-cut ter. The shooting took place at Charlton and East Broad streets, and, according to the statements of a number of witnesses, was entirely unprovoked. Read himself refused to discuss the shooting when seen by a Morning .News reporter, but when ar rested stated that Stewart stru k Aiim and that he shot in self defense. Phillip Yirillo, a Greek fruit dealer, in front of whose place the shooting took place, and Walter Stewart, a brother of the wounded man, both of whom were within a few feet of him when he was shot, tell in all essential particulars the story of the affray* They and and the wounded man were silting on empty fruit boxes in from of Yirillo’s place when Reid fain- up an*i bo. g t some apples. .After that he went into tl.e barroom next dcor. which is kept by J. J. Egan, and afterwards continued down the street. 111 a short time he appeared, again in front of the place, evidently the war-e from drink and. steadying himself on the awning supports of the fruit s'a'd and within e. few fret of the sitting in n. remark'd that he had been insulted by lhaj. “mulatto rascal, ” and that he had got to apologize. As no attu tion was paid to the lemark, Read emphasized it b> pointing at Wm. Stewart with the re mark, “It's you 1 mean." St' wort .-a and that he had not insulttd anybe dy, and Read retorted that he was ad- - liar, to which Stewart replied in kind. Read then applied another particularly often •ive epithtt. and drawing a pistol f:om his hip packet,told Stewart that he would have to apologize on his knees. Stewart got up saying that he didn't mind doing that, but as he arose Readjire i. th ball entering the left side of the abdomen. wounded man staggered toward the middle of ihe street until his brother and some of the p rsons who had been at tracted by the s ?und of the pistol, took him in charge and carried him to his home at No. 553 Jones street, east, a short distance from the scene of the shooting. Virillo started for Read as soon as he saw that Stewart was wounded. When Read saw' him coming he ran into 'the fruit store, and through a side door into the barroom next door, and so out into the street, where he was arrested a anon time afterwards by Officers Ferrell and Crosby.“He had disposed of his pistol be fore his arrest, however, as none was •rotund on him when he was searched at the barracks. Drs. Corson and Sfothart were sum moned to the w-ounded man. but were un able to locate the ball. They think Ids chance of recovery slight. Both of the Stewarts are porters on the Southern Railway and are well though of. Read Is a stonecutter, but has been out of work for the lasi two weeks. OMISSIONS WILL BE RECTIFIED. Supervisor Will Have <’en*o Enum erator* Vinit House* They Mi**. Supervisor Blun is making every effort to have the cemsus of Bavannah, when it 1* completed, as full and as accurate in every respect as the experience gained in former years, and the divers instrumen talities of the bureau, joined to industry and determination, will permit. To-day will be devoted by the enumerators as an additional day for closing up their count. The actual numeration of the people of Bavannah. though, will not be completed for several weeks. Aft> r the portfolios of the enumerators are turned in to the su pervisor, they are gone over carefully by him. and when it appears from the in formation gathered that any house with in the. corporate limits of the city,of which the supervisor ha> an accurate rnap and list, has been slighted, the enumerator who is responsible for the omit-s.on will he called-upon to make ii good. He will be required to visit the house he has not visited on his former rounds, and the data gathred by him w ill be in orporatej in the tabulated returns tha. will be made up and ferwatded by the sup rvisor to the director of the census. “We are not trying to slight anybody,” said Supervisor Blun yesterday, “and we expect to get all or almost all of the pop ulation of the city included in our com pleted lists. Should there be omissions, they will spr ng frqm causes ov r w hich we can exercise no control; not from in attention or lack of zeal or neglect. It is mv hoi>e that any citizen of Savannah ■who entertains even an apprehension that his name has net been included in the census will notify me of the fact, so that 1 may make an investigation, and if the apprehension conveys a fact tho omission may be rectified. It is of large importance to the city that wo should make as good a show as possible and I trust that I •hall have the assistance of tho people of the city in securing the name of every resident.” HONORS FOII Si HOUli BOVS. Interetlug < loning Exercise* of Morton’* School. The commencement exercises of Mor ton's School for Boys took place yesterday morning at 10 o’clock at the school quar ters, No. 13 Macon street, east. A large number of the patrons and friends of the school was present. The programme began with an address by Mr. J. R. Morton, in which he re viewed the work accomplished during the past year, and impressed upon the boys the necessity of fitting themselves for college life, and upon the parents of his pupils th© ♦•xcellence of the. Southern col lies. It should le. he said, a question of pride to the alumni of the state insti tutions to see that their sons followed in their footsteps. At the conclusion of Mr. Morton’s ad dress Dr. J. A. Crowther. formerly at the head of the school, presented the special i and general certificates that had been won by me timbers of the classes and also gave out the medals, three in number, as fol lows: The primary class medal to Conrad Aiken; the third <iass medal to Ijaivombe Schley, and a medal for penmanship to I Archie McEachern. Diplomas of graduation were awarded to j McCay De&rtng, and to Gordon Carson, j ■while certificates for excellent deportment were given to George Hunter and to Ar- j chie McEachern. Mr. Julian Schley presented the honors, j which were in the form of scholarship. The first of these was awarded to Hahle man Finnic, the second, of which then were two. to Arc’hie McEachern and Gould Hunter, and the third to Herbert Moore. It is customary with Mr. Morton to give but one second honor, but Masters Hunter McEachern wen* so nearly tied for give two scholarships lo this grade. Mr Morton will have a short summer •chooi here and will then go to Virginia until ootoberl, when the school will be reopened. I*l© of Hope To-night, Gentlemen’s contest. Mr. George W.

The June meeting of the Board of Coun ty’ Commissioners was held yesterday faf ternoon. There were present Chairman Dale and Commissioners Lathrop, Sim kins and Weil. County bonds to the amount of $5,000 were drawn for redemp tion cmd cancellation. The bonds drawn, are Numbers 2. 59 and 00. of the denomination of SI,OOO. and Num bers 1, 04. 73 and 33. of the denomination of SSOO. Interest on these bonds will cease on July 1, next. They will be paid by ihe county treasurer, on preseiffation to him in his office at the court house, on and after that date. The redemption of the bonds is in accordance with the plan pur sued by the commissioners for the retire ment of the issue, $3,000 being drawn for cancellation in June of each year. The report of County Superintendent of Public Works and Roads Chaplin show* and that there were 237 misdemeanor convicts at the various camps ami on the poor farm on June 1, of whom 151 were men. 39 boys and 27 women. The prA;cntage of sickness for the month among the convicts was very low. being le: : s than 5 per ctnt. The bill presented by the city for the vaccine points used in the vaccination of the children of the public schools, situat ed beyond the jurisdictional limits of the city, during the recent small pox scare, was reft rrod to the chairman with power *o act. The bill was for 1.931 points, at a ■ of six cents each, amounting to $115.86. A petition from Mr. A. P. Wright, ask ing compensation for damages fo ihe land of Janet Screven, was received as infor mation. The damages are said to have ac crued by reason of the county’s unauthor ized entrance upon, the land of Mr. Wright’s client for the purpose of con strue ling La Roche avenue. Pome of the land was used for the road and a small slip that was cu: away from the rest of •he property lias been materially reduced in value. The sum of $125 is mentioned ns the amount of damages believed to be fair. I.OTS SOIJ) AVI’IH A RUSH. eleventh und Twelfth Street* Realty Brought Good Price*. The sale of lots on Eleventh street, be tween Barnard und Whitaker streets, yes terday afternoon, indicates that the de mand for Savannah real estate is by no means satisfied. Mr. Jfohn L. Archer had eleven lots to sell, and it took only about twenty min utes to sell them. From the. eager and rapid bidding apparently it would have been a as easy t<> have sod fifty. The terms were $25 cash and $5 a month, with 6 per cent, interest. Such terms as these have thrown the market oi>en to most anybody who has any desire to own anything, or who wants to save some, money In a way that will be- profitable. It cannot be said that the lots sold yes teiday brought high prices, but the very rapid manner in which the bidding was done shows that the demand was strong. The first lot sold was on the south side of Eleventh street, the third fronv the corner of Whitaker, and went to W. M. Carter for $650. V. W. Be bey bought the adjoining lot at $640; W. H. Peck got the two next lots at $620 each; IMr. A. D. Kent took the remaining two on this block at $640 each. These were ail the lots offered on Eleventh street, and brought an average of $635 each. The crowd then mow'd to Twelfth street, the first two lots offered, being the third and fourth from the corner of Barnard, w< re bought by Mr. C. H. Leopold for $555 each. The next lot went to Mr. V. J. Busier at $550. The two remaining lots were taken by Mr. James Hunter at $546 each. The average on this block was about $550. The lots sold belonged to Messrs. Hugh Logon and J. S. Collins, who sold them only for the purpose-of reinvesting in Collinsville, where they al ready have large interests. A remarkable fact in connection with recent auction sales is that although the terms on nil these sales have been remarkably easy, more than half of the purchasers have preferred to pay cash. TENTS ON TYREE ISLAND. A* Cottage* Are Lacking, n Family Will Live l nder Canvas. A great demand has sprung up for ac commodations cn Tybee Island. On acCoun : of the price of lumber and building ma terials, new r cottages were not built ns they have been in the past, and the open ing of the summer season left but few for summer home-seekers to secure. It is said there was but one new cottage built for this season. Families have begun to move to the in land for several wt*eks* stay. Others would doubtless go if they could get cottages. Inability to succceed in this has not de terred one family, and preparation arc being made to occupy three large tents that have been pitched for their occu pancy near the South End. This plan v;; s followed last summer by a few, and there may lie others to adopt it- Tybee Hotel is already enjoying a good run of business, but this will increase from day to day. All the rooms are not now occupied, but reservations have bfcn made for expected visitors, and Proprietor Graham is confident that his house will yet be completely full. AI*FBIXTED A CADET. Mr. Cecil Gnbbett, Jr., to Enter the Revenue Cutter Service. Mr. Cecil Gabbett, Jr., received notice yesterday from the treasury department of his appointment to a cadetship in the Revenue Cutter Service. Mr. Gabbett was one of the five out of three hundred who passed the recent examination for cadetships, to receive on ippointment. There were but five vacancies, and the large number of applicants shows how sharp the competition was. One of the candidates was Mr. O’Dell of Beaufort. Mr. Gabbett has been ordered to report to the department in Washington for duty on Monday. The schoolshlp Chase is of Baltimore, ready to start on her summer cruise abroad. Mr. Gabbett will join her there, and after two years of cadet duty, will stand his examination foe a lieuten ant’s commission. His appointment to u ( adetfrhip is o compliment to his ability. The •xn ml nations are extremely rigid, and to be one of five out of 300, who suc cessfully passed, is an evidence of merit. GOING TO THE RACE*.

Stovall und Judge Robert Fal ligunt AVere the Speakers—Their Kesponne* AA ere Greatly Enjoyed. The annual dinner of the Savannah Ri fle Association took place last .night at Mrs. Hannon’s, at Thunderbolt. The din ner was given under canvas, pitched in front of the I>odge. Decorations of Japan ese lanterns, incandescent lights and bam boo had been tastefully arranged and it was amid surroundings as attractive to the eye as was the menu to the appetite that the company sat down. From the balcony of the Lodge, where the orches tra was posted, strains of music floated ! in accompaniment to the courses of the dinner. All enjoyed a pleasant time, the affair having been excellently arranged through the efforts of the committee, Capt. W. W. Williamson, Capt. W. G. Austin and Mr. S. E. Theus. After indulgence in the menu. Captain Williamson introduced Mr. W. G. Charl ton, who responded to the toast, “Our Twenty-fifth Anniversary.’’ Mr. Charl ii*\ raised laughs by pleasantries in which he indulged. He congratulated the Asso ciation upon its arrival at the twenty-fifth anniversary, and expressed the hope that it may long be here as one of the best and most inspiring of Savannah’s organ izations. Mr. Walter C. Hartridge was the next speaker. His response was to “The Mili tary.” After a few laughable references to his having recently been a “mark’’ rather than a shot, and an “easy mark.’’ as some of his friends had assured him he had been, Mr. Hartridge turned.to his subject, discussing the military situation ns it confronts the United States. Savan nah’s military commands were paid warm tribute, the speaker telling of the splendid deeds they have done through all the wars through which the country has iwssed. This city, he declared, should never swerve from its support of the military. “The Day We Celebrate” was responded lo by Mr George A. Merc r, Jr., who began with personal hits that proved very happy. His toa t was lather obscur ed, for the stream of jokes-that follow’d had far more to do with Ihe nights we c It brate than the days. His friends about the board expressed *urpri.-e at Mr. Mer cer’s evident familiarity with tho.se things cf which he spoke. Mr. P. A. Stovall responded to “The Power of the Press.” He sail the power of literature, in this day, has given pla.*e to the pewer of lyddite, and that the ex positor of some new’ fact revives never the glory that falls to the inventor of some new and deadly gun. Th? men in the Philippines w’ere lauded, and praises were bestowed upon war correspondents of such type as Stephen Crane, whose performances in Cuba for the re'ief of * omrades wore told. The story of the Sea Girt fiasco, and the ill treatment of the Savannah t am was told, and the fairness shown by ihe papers in publishing re. or s that removed the stigma from Georgia aid placed it where it belonged, was warmly commended, as was the dissent ing candor and truth of Col. Kuser, who strongly condemned the fraud to which his colleagues were alleged to have leaned. It was to drink a toast to Col. Kuser that the company arose after Mr. Sto vall’s speech had received its bursl cf final applause. “Always Ready,” was the toast to which Judge Robert Fa Hi gent was to respond. His speech was characteristic, story after story coming in succession that was in- by some of the Judge’s most eloquent and heart-touching quotations, and lapses into production of his own poetic nature. His story of Lieut. Zay dock Jackson, added another to his long list of successes. Judge Falligant’s re sponse was one of the happiest of the evening. Upon the conclusion- of Judge Fnlligant’s speech, Capt. Williamson, president and toastmaster, presented the medal to Mr. E. A.- Cutts, and announced, the other Irlze winners. The regular toasts having been con cluded, the company decided it was quol ified to call upon whom it listed, and to Mr. J. R. Saussy, the gauge was flung. Hfe raised it deftly, and for five minutes, his wit enlivened the occasion. Capt. James VY. McAlpin spoke of the early days of the association, and the company closed its delightful evening by singing “Annie Laurie.” The annual rifle contest was very satis factory. many of the members of the as sociation being out. The shooting was not quite up to the mark that has been established by the b st shots in the asso ciation .though some of the members did considerably better than their friends sus pected them capable of doing. Tho shooting was at the LOO and the 3CO yards ranges, tin shots at each. The pos s bility, therefore was 100, but the nearest to that limit was attained by Mr. C. S. Richmond, the winner in the medal class, and by Mr. E. A. Cutts, the winner in the first cla s. their scores having been 91. Th? prize in the second class was won by Capt. R. E. L. Wylly on a score of 89. while the honors in the third class were borne oft by Mr. G. E. Dickinson, whose score was 81. Capt. W. G. Austin and Mr. F. C. Bat tey chose sides after the regular contest, and then tossed a coin to see which side should be taken by each. Fortune decided that Capt. Austin should lead the team Mr. Battey had chosen, and vice versa. The result was victory for Mr. Battey. Following are the scores made in each class: Medal Class— Richmond 91 Battey SO F. C. Wilson S9 J. G. Nelson S3 J. C. Postell 55 First Class— Cutts 91 H. E. Wilson S3 Thomas Hunter S5 E. C. Mercer S3 W. G. Austin S2 J. P. White si J. T. Shuptrine SO Second Class— Wylly vo Schley S3 W.

The Savannah baseball team reached the city early yesterday morning, having been away since Sunday night. During their absence, the team played three games, two with the Fernandina team, and one with Jacksonville, all of which they lost. Baliantyne’s defection, a rumor of which ivas printed in yesterday's Morning News/ is mainly responsible for the loss of these games, as it left (he team in a bad straight, placing it under the necessity of taking a catcher from such candidates as offered themselves without knowing anything of the man’s qualifications for the position. Two members of Ihe team, Villeneeu, and Harper, remained over In Jackson ville, and will play with the Jacksonville team for a short while, after which they wiil return to this city. Despite the hard luck that accompanied the learn, the men are not discouraged. They feel confident that with a good catcher, and a little more practice, they can beat either of the teams that they went up against on this trip. The pro ceeds of he trip were sufficient to iay alt expenses, and still leave a smalj sum that will be invested in uniforms. The manager of the nine has another game scheduled with a team, in Charles ton on July 4. but it is quite likely that other games may be arranged for before that time. Both Fernandina and Jack sonville are anxious for further games, and may come to Savannah if they can get a guarantee. \ TRIPLET OF CHICKEN THIEVES, Caught In the Act of Robbing; n Springfield Hoo*t. In Mose Mur tar, Robbie Cohen, and Tommy Ryan, the police captured yester day thsee rogues who are young in years but old in crime. The particular offense this time is chicken stealing, a charge on which at least two of the boys were ar rested once before, though they escaped merit**! punishment, as the prosecutor withdrew the charge on account of the tender years of the young rascals. The scene of the last theft is near the powder magazine, where the boys were taken in the act of carrying off the chickens be longing to Julia Hart, a colored woman who lives in that vicinity. Ryan’s part in the affair is the more reprehensible and to be wondered at. as he, was discharged from he Recorder’s Court on a charge of steal ing flowers only a few hours before he was caught in the commission of the second theft. Muriar and Cohen are negroes aged re spectively 13 and 10 years. Ryan is white and but 10 years old. In the Recorder’s Court “Plug” Maher, was he .rd on a charge of beating several of the inmates of a well known tenderloin resort. This is not the first time Maher has been before His Honor on such a charge, so he wa< given the option of a fine of $25 or thirty days In jail to which was add'd a like sentence for the same offense pronounced against him April 9. but which he was excused from serving upon his promis* “to he goed ” Being un •dl“ t> pay the double tine, Maher will put In the two months in Jail John Moo )v. the colored bootblack, of ihe oriclnal % in-gtowing thirst and pagl proclivities, was agan up for beng diunk and dsorderly.

CHARGED WITH CONCEALING AS , SETS FROM RECEIVER. ___________ Manager of Savannah Shoe anil Dry Good* Company Arrested for Vio lating Section XO of the Bankrupt cy Act—The Section Prohibit* an Officer of a Bankrupt Corporation Concealing It* Asset* from a Trustee or Receiver—Wilensky Said to tlnxe Hidden Good* of the Value of I|I3( M)d—Tu ken Before CoiuniisNioner Lewis, He Gave Rond for Hi* Appearance. M. Wilensky, manager of the defunct corporation known to the business world, not wisely, but too well, as the Savannah Shoes and Dry Goods Company, was ar rested yesterday by United States Deputy Marshal White. The arrest was made under authority of a warrant sworn out before Commissioner J. F. Lewis by Mr. George S. Haines, the receiver of the defunct company, appoint ed by Judge Speer. The warrant charges Wilensky with the violation of Section 29 of the National Bankruptcy Act, which prohibits the concernment by a bankrupt of any of the assets his estate, or by an officer or agent of a corporation of any of the assets of the bankrupt concern. It is understood that Wilensky is charged with having made away with something like $3,000 of the assets of the company of which he was formerly manager. Evi dence to this effect, or tending lo show’ the truth of this charge, has been offered at several of the hearings that have been had before Referee MacDonald, and it has been confidently expected and predicted for some time that the arrest of Wilensky on a warrant charging the violation of the Twenty-ninth Section of the act would certainly follow the investigation in due course. Some time ago Wilensky was arr?sted on a warrant sworn out before Magistrate Naughtin, charging him with the embez zlement of more than $13,000. On this oc casion Wilensky waived a preliminary hearing before the magistrate and was turned over to the Superior Court, iiis bond wus fixed at $5,000, which was finally furnished, after some delays, with Jsido e Gottlieb as surety. The case has nev r been acted upon by the Superior COll t grand jury. Since that occasion the alleged pecula tive transactions of W’ilensky have been under investigation by Detective S. Basch, who has made an exhaustive examination into the methods used in effecting the dis appearance of the large stock of g ods that the company’s reports to the mercan tile agencies showed to be in its store but a month or two before the voluntary oank ru-ptcy petition was tiled. Some interesting evidence has been given at. the hearings and the arrest that was expected has tol lowed. It is presumed the warrant covers different charges than those upon which the proceedings in the state couris were based. Upon Wilensky's arrest yesterday he w r as carried by the deputy marshal before C ommissioner Lewis, by whom the war rant- had been issued. Bond was tixel by the commissioner in tho sum of $2.0)0 and Isadore Gottlieb was offered and ac cepted as surety. Upon giving bond W’ilen sky was presented with his liberty. The preliminary’ hearing in the case has been fixed by the commissioner for 4 o'clock this afternoon. The defendant will probably be represented by his counsel. Mr. Emile Newman, while Mr. George W’ Owens, who is counsel f r the receiver i t -he bankruptcy proceedings, or Assistan District Attorney W. R. Leaken, will probably represent the prosecution. The evidence will be taken by the commis sioner, ewen though the defendant, as he did in the magistrate's court, waive ihe preliminary investigation. WAS BUT ONE CONVICTION. Two Defendant* in Superior Court Given. Their Liberty. Three criminall cases were tried in the Superior Court yesterday and but one of the defendants was found guilty. The un lucky one is August Jeryskouski. who was sentenced to pay a fine of SIOO or serve three months in the county jail. Jeryskouski was found guilty of a vio lation of that section ed the criminal code, which prohibits the breaking of a law’ful pound. He is n white man w’hose herd of cows broke Into the truck patches own ed by two of his negro neighbors. W’al lace and Mitchell, and about destroyed their crops. The cows were impounded by the sufferers and the defendant res cued them, without paying for the dam ages they had committed. Only the case in w’hich Mitchell was the prosecutor was tried yesterday. The other Is still on the docket. An old blind negro, John Thomas, was found not guilty of forgery. The prosecut ing witness, Dr. M. X. Corbin, stated on the stand that since the indictment was found he had come to believe that the de fendant was entirely guiltless of any of fense and had been simply a helpless jool in the hands of a former household ser vant of Dr. Corbin, Lizzie Sheldon. Upon this showing Judge Falligant directed a verdict of not guilty. Sandy Young was found not guilty of burglary. He had been indicted for break ing an entering Mr. Raschal Strong’s home at Bp&ulleu and gaining illegitimate possession and control of a pair of trous ers. The evidence did not serve to remove from the minds of the jury the reasonable doubt of the defendant’s guilt the law’ says shall not be present and they re turned a verdict of acquittal.

Pancoast in the City Court yesterday. The pLiintifT is a tenant of the defendant, residing in a house owned by him at the corner of York and Lincoln sireets, and < laims that through his InaM teniion to the condition of the premises she has been damaged in the sum of 5336.50. Mrs. Eady alleged in her petition to the court that the plumbing system through the house has long been In a bad sani tary condition, that the water pipes leaked, that the locks on the doors were suffered to fall into disrepair, and ihat all of these causes have contributed to the damages she has incurred. The de fendant’s inattention to the proper dis charge of the duties of landlord is al leged to be responsible. The plaintiff says that her clothes and furniture have been damaged by unex pected showers, of water from the defec tive pipes, that her lodgers have left her premises by reason of the odors produced by the unsanitary piumbing, and that through the doors that the crumbling locks failed to protect thieves broke in and stole her valuables. In short the al leged omission of the defendant to make suitable and proper repairs has cost much money. She wants the court to de cree that it be returned to her by him. MEETING OF EPWORTH LEAGUERS.
